“The Chagrin Documentary Film Festival was fantastic. The programming was top-notch — the films were powerful, thought-provoking and very well crafted. The audiences were warm, engaged, curious and big! Communication with the festival team was top notch — they truly care about both the filmmakers and the stories. Add to that the wonderful local reception and the charm of Chagrin Falls itself and you have a fantastic festival.”
- Samuel George - Director, Lithium Rising: The Race for Critical Minerals
